Can I add 16gb ram to my 8gb ram laptop Nitro V15 with no issues (Same specs)?
Hi, I just got a laptop, an Acer Nitro V15 with an RTX 4050 at 6gb ddr6 vram. My laptop has 8gb ddr5 ram at 5600mhz, can I add a 16gb ddr5 ram also at 5600mhz to it with no issues and will it run smoothly?

yes, but you will not see any performance improvement in laptop after upgrade ram like(8gb+16gb) and maybe your laptop performance will be decreased.
Just for (8+8gb ram, otherwise 16+16gb ram), after you will see noticeable performance improvement.
I don't think so in laptop has 5600mhz speed ram. (4800mhz+5600mhz =4800mhz ram speed)
ram frequency check in task manager.

My Laptop, according to task manager has 5200 speed, however in CPU-Z it states that it is 5600mhz and also my Ram is 5600mhz as I did get it checked out beforehand

What is your laptop exact model no.? Its possible that acer used higher frequency ram than laptop supported. In that case speed with downgrade to lower supported frequency.
For best performance you need to buy same specs ram stick with equal size, cl rate, voltage, frequency for dual channel and performance boost. FOR EG- 8GB+8GB= 16GB dual channel, 16GB+16GB= 32GB dual channel. (Both ram sticks specs need to be same)
Mixing different rams may cause no performance improvement and incompatibility issue.
